Today I wanted to share some exciting news from Manduka, as they launch their latest and most innovative product, the Recycled Foam unBLOK. A new prop that helps enhance your practice, the unBLOK features an iconic contoured design for complete stability, slip resistant finish and over 50% recycled material (the most recycled block that exists).
I was pumped when I had the opportunity to try out the unBLOK for myself – I normally use blocks in my regular yoga practice, but I share the ones at the studios and to be completely honest with you, they gross me out. So it was nice to have my own block to use at yoga.
Aside from the germ factor, it was great to have this block with me for practice because of its awesome shape. It’s my favorite part of the unBLOK {aside from the fabulous color – mint – which is hard to see in some of these pictures!} The adjacent & dual curves allow for versatility in traditional poses, offering a deeper, more natural arc support while the flat sides of the block maintain the support of a traditional block.
The dual function of this prop creates a gentle spine support and stability for standing poses. It also has a slip-resistant finish and is smooth but easy to grip. I admit, I am not the most flexible person by any means {SUPER tight hips, even after years of yoga!} so I am always one to reach for a block during practice. I love the way to block allows for extra flexibility, I am always so happy for the extra assist!
To help celebrate the launch of the unBLOK, Manduka has kicked-off a digital campaign, the unBLOK party celebrating community yoga studios nationwide. Yogis are encouraged to nominate and vote for the studios that helped them “unblock” in their practice for a chance to win a range of prizes! Feel free to check the unBLOK party out for yourself!
In honor of the release their newest yoga prop, the wonderful folks at Manduka have offered to giveaway an unBLOK to one lucky And Her Little Dog Too reader. If you are a new yogi or a seasoned professional – everyone could use a block like this in their practice.
Hatha, Vinyasa, Ashtanga, Iyengar or Restorative – any type of yoga is perfect for the unBLOK

I need a new yoga block, and I love the way that this one is shaped!
I love the shape & am relatively new to yoga. Would love to try it!
I finally have a great Manduka mat and strap, just need this awesome block to finish off my set!
Love the shape! I’ve been putting off buying a block for yoga and have been using the blocks at the studio, but this one looks like a good one to try!
I have everything else to practice yoga except the block.
I am a total yoga newbie, but I really need to work on getting more flexible and stretching and I think having this unBLOK would be a great motivator!
I would like to win because I’m trying to start incorporating yoga into my workout/recover routine! 🙂
I need a new block and I love the shape of this one.
I want to win because I could use it when I am doing yoga at home. I’ve just random hosehold objects as blocks.
What a great giveaway – love the color too!
Like you, I use the blocks at my yoga studio – but I’d like to bring my own (so many germs!)
Love the color!!!!
I would love to win this- it looks awesome and I want to start using a block in yoga more!
I am just starting to practice yoga and I need supplies. This block seems awesome!
I’ve been trying to practice more. Trying a different block might just be the motivation I need.
That block is fantastic!
